Galerna are Mario, Miguel, Carlos, Lucas and Guillermo \u2014 but at one point, they also included Pablo and Javier. Most of these young twenty-somethings had already been part, for years, of a close-knit group of friends from Bilbao brought together by surfing and music. From the age of sixteen, and along with the rest of their newly formed crew, the future musicians began to discover the world: nightclubs and concerts in Bilbao, surf trips to Cantabria and Les Landes, nights spent sleeping under the stars on the beaches of Biscay\u2026<\/p>\n
For them, Galerna was simply the natural step.
On every trip to Miguel\u2019s grandparents\u2019 old flat in San Vicente de la Barquera, the friends would gather in the \u201cmusic room,\u201d decorated with an upright piano and Miguel\u2019s father\u2019s old drum kit. There, freezing without heating but happy knowing that the waves would come the next day, they improvised many of Mario\u2019s songs and promised each other that one day they would form a band.<\/p>\n
That finally happened years later, in 2021, during the pandemic, when Miguel, Javier and Mario started renting a rehearsal room in a big house above Sopelana beach. There, little by little, they began playing some songs with the intention of recording a demo. With the help of Pablo Idoyaga, that demo quickly took shape, and \u201cEsta Noche es M\u00eda\u201d was born.<\/p>\n
The idea behind Galerna has always been, in short:<\/p>\n
\u201cOnly by building a very specific symbolic world can you address universal issues like love, illness, frustration, family or sexuality.\u201d<\/p>\n
The members of McEnroe were struck when they discovered the project and invited Galerna to join them as the opening act for their 20th anniversary tour \u2014 a dream come true, considering McEnroe had been the favorite band of several of them since they were 14.<\/p>\n
In 2024, they release their first studio album.\u00a0Viaje a Roma<\/em>\u00a0is a sung novel; a literary fiction in musical form, divided into twelve chapters that narrate the adventure of two friends from Bilbao on their road trip from their hometown to the Italian capital.<\/p>\n The story is told through the eyes of a romantic, idealistic protagonist, with Galerna drawing on traits from its own members to shape a complex and melancholic character. Opposite him stands \u201cEl Guay,\u201d his travel companion \u2014 the complete contrast, whose only motto is to enjoy life and never torment himself over anything.<\/p>\n Is there anything more bilba\u00edno than comparing their native\u00a0botxo<\/em>, their small provincial city, to the ancient capital of Europe? Perhaps this is precisely Galerna\u2019s mission: to give their small coastal world a universal, transcendent meaning, striving among the rest of the artistic landscape to become the center of it all, an atemporal icon.<\/p>\n Mario<\/strong>\u00a0Spanish guitar & lead vocals \u00b7\u00a0Carlos<\/strong>\u00a0keys (piano) & backing vocals \u00b7\u00a0Miguel<\/strong>\u00a0bass \u00b7\u00a0Lucas<\/strong>\u00a0drums \u00b7\u00a0Guillermo<\/strong>\u00a0guitar & backing vocals<\/p>\n This concert is standing and for individuals aged +18 years old.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Galerna are Mario, Miguel, Carlos, Lucas and Guillermo \u2014 but at one point, they also included Pablo and Javier.
